MADE TO ORDER Short Path Sippers Focus V Carta [American Colors][Limited Drops]

All of the American color tubing for these toppers I made myself - 

using my lathe,

-having started with color rods - applying a technique called a blowout. There may be times when I combine pre-made import tubing + the American color tubing to take advantage of specific OD/ID tubing sizes ( sipper necks) ( occasionally sipper bottoms for firm fitments)

The reason these toppers are more expensive than the others 

A) using American made color rods to make the tubing for the toppers myself is both more expensive and more time consuming  (time to make tubing + time to make topper) 

C) to buy a pre-made tube of these American colors, on average, is 2x to 3x more expensive than the Chinese tubing, at maybe half the length of the imported tube - stretching that gap even further 

2nd quality = same function quality - but has some aesthetic flaw(s) 

Cinnabar =  A striking color that is a dark shade of ruby

Anerican Beauty = a  beautiful deep, dark shade of Red  made by Momka Glass that appears to me to be a slightly brighter shade of a dark ruby than the cinnabar
